Achieving efficient energy storage in Bi0.5Na0.5TiO3-based ceramics via multicomponent doping
摘要
Lead-free dielectric ceramics are indispensable for modern pulse power systems due to their high energy density, environmental friendliness, and stable performance. Bi0.5Na0.5TiO3 (BNT)-based ceramics have garnered significant attention due to their high saturation polarization and high Curie temperature. However, the intrinsic long-range ferroelectric order of BNT leads to excessive remanent polarization (Pr), resulting in significant hysteresis loss and low conversion efficiency. This work designs and prepares (1-x)(0.68Bi0.5Na0.5TiO3–0.32SrTiO3)–xLaMg0.5Ti0.5O3 (BNT-ST-LMT) ceramics using a multi-element solid solution strategy. The introduction of the LMT component disrupts the internal long-range ferroelectric order and enhances relaxor characteristics. An energy storage efficiency (η) of 87.1% is achieved, with a recoverable energy density (Wrec) of 2.67 J/cm3 under an electric field of 220 kV/cm. The enhanced efficiency contributes to improved cyclic reliability and offers a viable route for optimizing BNT-based energy storage ceramics.
